Where is the Money Going?

We want our donors to feel comfortable in the knowledge that their money is being used to eliminate plastic from restaurants and schools, so we post every government filing and annual report on this web site for all to see.

We pay zero salaries and zero rent. In our first two years, overhead expenses have remained below 6% of revenue.
